OMG, did I just get trolled? This can't be anyone's actual opinion, at least not one that they would admit to in public.

Your comment is pretty inflammatory, so it pains me to come down on your side. Most of these comments are stupid. I'm a conservative white, and I'm having serious trouble understanding why anyone would have a problem with being able to select more colors for something.
I don't know if it's because all the other commenters are racist, or "post racial" or "fighting political correctness", or what, but it's a customization option. You can pick a color to make an emoticon look more like you or someone else. Get a grip, people.
You sound pretty racist, to be honest. Your views belong in the 1800s, not in 2014.
Race affects how people treat other people, how someone is perceived, how a minority racial member lives their life, it affects privilege, it affects dating, it affects what you think someone should sound like, etc. We are all born the same. Toddlers and babies don't have a clue about racial issues. It is when they start to become influenced by their environment, society, family, friends, culture that changes and nurtures the way we think today. If that didn't exist, then what you say would be true.
There's a lot of social constructs affecting race you're missing here.
It's better to confront these issues head-on rather than dance around it for generations.
Deal with it.
Most of the people who are complaining don't get it. You'll never get it
That's white privilege for you.
That's white privilege for you.
Yes because conservatives have always shown intelligence....the republican party is a joke.
You mean the privilege not to be a complete moron, worried about a yellow emoji? I'll GLADLY celebrate that PRIVILEGE.
You couldn't be more wrong. It isn't your race that's making you do anything. You might find more of an attitude in one race than another, but it is not your race that is doing it.
The nasty little racist made sure to specify "white" conservatives. Read the posts before replying.

Article about yellow smileys. BTW, the color comes from Sol, the sun. As in, "sunny disposition" is what led to this most famous emoticon.
If you've been thinking it represents white people, you don't get it. Quite literally.
You mean like how it's 99.2% ethnic Japanese and therefore doesn't have to constantly deal with petty race-centric ******** like this?
I doubt most people even care about this. I doubt it was something people wrote Apple about. All they are doing is offering more choices now. I just don't understand why some people are so against what might make someone else happier. If you don't care about a yellow emoji now being offered in different colors, cool. If it makes someone else happier, let it.
Right, and the emoji reform act settles centuries of injustice towards every ethnic group that's ever been wronged. Your comments are the reason I posted, you're the biggest "idiot" with an opinion in this thread. I'm sure your "struggle" has been tough. Enjoy being seperate, oh and don't forget to vote it's Election Day....
